  1. Let this be tried to test whether he is genuinely interested.Give him a chance.No harm.Let a SCP-judicial commission grant it.

  2. His request is genuine. Memogate is no public relations stunt as our very able interior minister claims. It has international repurcassions. Allready one senior ambassdor has been forced to resign. The ambassdor of pakistan in uk has refused to come to pakistan to testify due to sudden medical problems. The ISI chief
    had no hesitation in flying to uk and spend ? billions of rupees to interogate Mr Mansoor. Since then There have been no lack of threats to mr. mansoor,s security. Either we follow the scandle to its logical conclusion or bury our head like a ostrich in sand and pretend it never happened and let Mr Haqqani lead a normal life. Thank you mr.Mansoor for exposing the weakness of the state. Your security should be your prime concern.

  3. If the nation wants to get to the bottom of this scandal then it may be necessary to get a statement from Mansur Ijaz. It can be done in Dubai, where Mr. Haqqani's Counsel can also attend and cross question him.

    The Judicial Commission should also ask Mr. Ijaz as to why he became a conduit for the memo, why did he deliver it to General Jones and what happened afterwards that he and Haqqani fell out with each other. Any evidence Ijaz can produce including his blackberry trail could be very useful to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying.

  4. Record what statement? The Commission already has his statement that he has filed through his lawyer. Now is the time for cross-examination, as well as for him to turn in his phones, giving power of authority to the commission to directly acquire the phone records from Black Berry. Mullah Sheikh must quit making excuses, and wasting the time of the courts.
